How Princeton eBikes Selects Our eBikes
Road Bike Magazine lists 143 companies currently designing and manufacturing eBikes. The eBike industry is a bit like the car industry in the early 1900s . . . lots of companies are entering this rapidly growing market with most unlikely to survive for the long term.
Therefore, Princeton eBikes has carefully selected eBike manufacturers who have a proven track record of outstanding quality and service in the US eBike market and the internal infrastructure to provide the necessary capabilities to support the eBikes we sell.
There are two basic types of eBikes, hub-drive and mid-drive. Hub-drive eBikes place the motor in the hub of the rear wheel, while mid-drive eBikes place the motor at the center of the eBike. Princeton eBikes has a large selection of each type. Which is better?
The primary benefit of hub-drive eBikes is that these eBikes come with a throttle which can be helpful when attempting to get started on a hill or for the last few miles on a long bike trip. Mid-drive eBikes normally do not come with a throttle. Hub motors are typically used by riders under 175 pounds who do not cycle where there are big hills. Also, hub-drive eBikes tend to be less expensive (starting at $1400). However, it may make sense to spend the extra dollars to get the best bike for your personal cycling depending on what type of cycling you do.
The primary benefit of mid-drive eBikes is that the rear wheel is powered by the motor via the chain. This means mid-drive motor eBikes take advantage of the gearing permitting the mid-drive eBike to climb long steep hills. A hub-drive motor can overheat on a long steep hill climb. Also, mid-drive motor eBikes are often preferred by experienced cyclists since they feel more like regular bikes.
Customers coming to Princeton eBikes have the opportunity to decide which is best for them by taking test rides on several hub-drive and mid-drive eBikes. Our mid-drive motor eBike manufacturers include Gazelle and Yuba. Manufacturers of hub drive motors we sell include Aventon, Magnum and Bintelli. The innovative foldable Gocycle is a brand we also sell and it is unique in that the motor is in the front of the bike hub and also has a throttle.
We will adjust our price on any ebike to reflect a sales price on our vendor’s website.
**Our eBike prices include freight cost, unpacking, assembly, and tuning by a professional bike mechanic. In the very unlikely event a bike requires a warranty claim, Princeton eBikes will diagnose the problem, order any parts required and fix the problem all at no cost.
Gazelle
For the Dutch, a bike is more important than a means of transport. It is a way of life. Gazelle has been producing bikes for more than 127 years in their factory in Holland. You will feel the difference in comfort and stability from the first pedal stroke on these European made eBikes. With 350 employees, Gazelle makes more than 250,000 bikes each year. Gazelle’s history and attention to quality and design makes cycling more enjoyable, more attractive and safer. Everyone can ride like the Dutch.
The following sporty Gazelle eBikes have outstanding handling that lets you make the most of your weekend adventures and your commute. These bikes are super comfortable, a feast for the eyes and many have the battery integrated into the frame for a streamlined, efficient look and feel. All Gazelle bikes are powered by a Bosch integrated eBike system with battery, motor and display-controller, the premium eBike motor.
The bikes shown below are a few of the Gazelle options. To address the acronyms in the name of each model, HMB stands for hybrid mid-drive Bosch, which means that the bike is electric assist (no throttle) and has a Bosch motor in the mid-section. T means the bike has a derailer with 9 or 10 gears (as specified by the accompanied number). C means the bike has an internally geared hub with the number of gears associated with it. Speed or + means the bike pedal assist speeds reach 28 MPH rather than the usual 20 MPH. The power of eBikes is set by the torque on the wheel. Torque can the thought of as the rotational force. Torque is measured in Newton Meters or N below. Gazelle sells most models with pedal assist speeds that reach 20 MPH or 28 MPH (+), with the 28 MPH model costing $500 more than the 20 MPH models due to the higher torque engine.
